With this aim we reached out to the university and were pleased to see students’ response to our training. We are trying to impart job training to the students which will prepare them well and open up a lot of avenues for them when they step into the market for jobs eventually.”

Mr. Sunil Kumar, President, TAAI said” This weeklong program of Amadeus to train about 90 students on reservation and ticketing process has been a huge success. The students are now inspired to get actively connected with the growing Travel & Tourism Industry that requires specialised training to meet the ever-increasing demands of the industry. We are delighted to join hands with Amadeus India who have played a valuable role in organizing this training for the students of J&K.”
